V6 Turbo

hey guys..

tried reserching this. but never came to a conclusion on how a V6 turbo works.

my legend has a north - south configuration. which is totally awkward.

like i said.. in a H22a all 4 ports meet at the flange.
then how is a V6 gonna meet at 1 flange? especially at a single turbo ?

this guy did it. but no pictures of the manifold etc..

has anyone got any ideas? or diagrams or how this is gonna happen?

lots of help needed..

also?
would a GT2540 be enough for a 3.2 V6?

hey, wat i have seen done on a few lexus v8's. they run extractors that run forward and have a pip in the shape of U that runs from left to right joining the left and right banks together. then from there it runs into the turbo as a normal single turbo setup.

i was looking for a pic i had of an exhaust setup for a single turbo v8 but thats gone walkies.

i hope that helps

now i get it..
i think your trying to say is..

V6 have 2 seperate manifolds.

buy joining the 2 pipes togehter and making it a single and feeding it back to the top where the turbo sits ( like in the picture) it should work..

but.. the distance is too long.. wouldnt that create huge lag??

ken

Maybe twin turbo is the way to go?

I dunno :( hope you can do it :)

N, S ? that would mean that the legends are RWD?

if that is true then im gettin myself a legend!!!

any legend owners care to let us know?

they're longitudial mounted, but still fwd

i was gauging in the bay today.

no space wat so ever.. how the hell he do it?

someone help me?

they use a crossover pipe and merge the 2 pipes into 1. just like on a WRX

its pretty straigth foward.
most of the time the crosover pump will go under the engine or around the front of it.
its alot more involved and manifold runner length isnt the most important part.

so weq.. one pipe is longer than the other is that a problem tho?

no, one side is not longer.
the 3 pipes on the 'short side' will usually be twisted or curled to match the length of the pipes on the long side which have to be brought round.
there are alot of different V6 turbo set-ups as there is with 4 cylinders also.
one example i have seen in person, not saying i like it lol, is a toyota lexcen (toyota commodore basically) both manifolds were brought round the front of the engine and the turbo was top mounted in front of the radiator.
you have said, and in the pic we can see that the engine bay has very little room, therefore you would have to have a side mounted set-up which will have to include a custom manifold. in a forced induction engine short pipes are not a neccesity as the air is 'forced' not sucked, unless you are seeking extreme performance gains.
hope it helps a bit, remember if you wanna talk dude im on msn regurly
